ABSTRACT Police wiretaps and taped emergency dispatch calls are just a couple of examples of the kinds of voice recordings that have made their way into criminal and civil proceedings. In some instances, an expert witness may be called upon to identify the person whose voice was captured on tape or digitally recorded. However, this type of forensic analysis – commonly referred to as “speaker identification” – has not been universally accepted by the courts. In this article, I look at several US cases where the efficacy of forensic speaker identification has been brought into question. Using concepts from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Sociolegal Studies, I examine the attempts made by experts to have their methods of voice identification accepted at trial as valid and reliable techniques, and the decisions made by judges to either admit or exclude this evidence. I demonstrate that the various rulings regarding the admissibility of speaker identification evidence reflect the interplay between law and science and is the direct result of the “boundary-work” undertaken by experts and how judges assess these activities. I argue that forensic speaker identification evidence must be understood and conceptualised as “law-science hybrids” that are co-produced over the course of a trial.

ABSTRACT This essay investigates the construction of forensic audio expertise in the legal and security system of Communist Czechoslovakia and shows that the contested nature of speaker identification and sound-based objectivity contributed to the formulation of probabilistic claims in forensics. It explores the practices of the Department of Fonoscopy: a unique research laboratory of audio forensics that systematically examined the spectrographic, linguistic, and auditory means of sound analysis for the purpose of identifying unknown voices and environments in audio recordings. Bringing together the notions of “forensic cultures” and “sonic skills”, this article addresses the scientific, cultural, and political underpinning of the nascent field of audio expertise as well as the changing status of sound-based knowledge and forms of representation in forensics. In establishing fonoscopic expertise before the court and in the broader praxis of police investigation, the idea of vocal fingerprints and the use of sound visualisation technologies became instrumental. This essay pays special attention to the dynamics of the intricate process in which acoustic “raw material” (from anonymous calls, wiretapped phone lines, recorded conversations, or police interrogation rooms) was transformed into different kinds of legal and criminalistic evidence in the service of the totalitarian surveillance state.
